Capsicum cheese paratha recipe – Kids recipes

August 12, 2013 by Raks Anand 55 Comments /

capsicum-cheese-paratha
         This idea of making capsicum cheese paratha flashed when I read about a review in FB about Annalakshmi at Chennai. The review had the menu which they served for aadi perukku. It had this capsicum cheese paratha. So the instant I read about it, I decided I am gonna try it. Coz, its an awesome combination, capsicum and cheese are made for each other!  I have had lunch buffet in Annalakshmi few time here in SG.  And we order food for Aj’s Birthday party from Annalakshmi every time we plan his party. Here they run this restaurant for a noble cause, so we are double happy for not only tasty food, for something good too. And about this paratha, sure the kids at home are gonna love this simply for the combination. So why not try this for your family and I am sure you yourself would love it too.

Capsicum cheese paratha recipe

Recipe Cuisine: Indian  |  Recipe Category: Breakfast
Prep Time: 15 mins    |  Cook time: 5 mins per paratha    |  Makes: 5

Ingredients

Wheat flour/ atta – 1 cup, levelled


Water – as needed


Salt – as needed


Capsicum – 1/2 cup


Grated cheese – 1/2 cup


Chilli flakes – 1/2 tsp


Oil – for pan fry


Method

  1. First mix flour, salt with water (1/2 cup approx) and prepare dough. Keep aside. Chop capsicum into tiny cubes. Defrost cheese and add it to the capsicum along with chilli flakes.
  2. 1-capsicum-cheese-paratha

  3. Mix well and now, knead the dough and divide into 5 equal balls. Roll out and keep the capsicum mixture in middle.
  4. 2-cheese-capsicum-paratha

  5. Close it by pinching towards middle and roll out carefully both sides with generous dusting into thick parathas.
  6. 3-capsicum-cheese-paratha

  7. Cook over hot tawa with oil drizzled. Cook in medium flame to ensure even cooking. You can press gently with spatula for even browning.
  8. 4-capsicum-cheese-paratha

Notes

    • The water quantity is only a guidance and it may vary +/- 1 tblsp.
    • Give standing time of atleast 15 mins for the dough to become smooth. Knead again after resting for smooth dough.
    • I used both red and green capsicum, to make more appealing for kids.
    • You can add chilli powder or pepper powder instead chilli flakes.
    • You can also add chilli flakes and any Italian herb thats left over from your pizza order.
    • Do not reduce cheese as it gives a great taste along with capsicum
    • I used grated mixed cheese I bought for making pizza.
    • You can replace cheese with paneer too. 
    • The cheese melts when its being cooked, so when it cools, it will get solidified again.

I really wanted to show how it was inside, but I could not resist myself finishing the parathas after clicking. Tasted great with boondi raita and pickle.

    Mention of Annalakshmi brings forth a flood of memories.When we were in Singapore years back,one of the restaurants we visited was Annalakshmi.I was hungry and deprived of good vegetarian food,so hogged like a pig 🙂 when they asked us to pay what we liked,we were really in a soup and didn't know what or how much to pay and they assured us that whatever we paid would be fine.The cheese capsicum paratha sounds like a good combination.looks delicious and definitely worth a try!

    Hi Raji

    Very happy on seeing urs reply and thanks for the same. Yesterday i and my daughter tried dimond cut maida biscuts for her school snacks and its very nice.

    An Raji one more doubt while preparing dish how you manage to take such a nice step by step photos and how its possible to you Whoo! Such a clarity and another point it to notified that u are using flowers and background items for presenting the dish after finishing and i think you are having a lot collection variety bowls and also other kitchen accessories. An who is helping you in cooking and also thanks for them.

    Awaiting eagerly for a new variety

    Hi tried your recipe today….love the fact that it doesnt have so many ingredients. Only issue i couldnt make the parathas a decnet size as the capsicum started coming out and the paratha was tearing. So they were quite small…..thanks on the tips to defrost the cheese, it made the grating so much simpler…such a small tip dunno why i never thought of it before 🙂

    Hi tried the recipe today for lunch…had some capsicum and cheese left over and this was perfect. Only problem i couldnt roll out the chapatis big enough as they started tearing and the capsicum started coming out no matter how flour i dusted them with….so they were small the ones in your picture look bigger

    Thanks in advance!

    May be the atta is too thin, make bigger atta balls and roll thick slowly and gently. Knack is in rolling.
    Sure I have not added maida. Its ashirvad atta only.

    Hi Raks, This is Gayathri Sarangarajan from Chennai.
    I am a recent visitor of your blog. You are doing a great job and I am really inspired to try your recipes at home. I did try a few recipes and all those came out absolutely superb. I am just a beginner i.e., I started cooking only after marriage (it is 3 years now I got married). I used to do a recipe earlier and when I do the same next time I mess up totally, but the recipes I do seeing your blog really comes out very well every time. Thank you for your blogs and do keep blogging. BTW very nice pics you present and it makes the learning very easy. Nice kitchen wares you use and very nicely you present things. The intro you give for each recipe really appeals every time in a new way. Really great great job you are doing and thank you again for the blogs.
